I really can't drive an average car (dodge neon, honda civic) and now I need a DD to drive 70 miles a day, all year round to work and back. I live in Michigan. Seems like with 2 sets of tires I would be fine.

Basically, I don't know much about Crossfires. Are they reliable (because I will buy used, likely in the 20k mile range, so only 16k miles of full warranty left), comfortable for long trips and decent on gas? I read that they get 25 mpg hwy, but I'm not sure if thats with auto or manual. I plan on the latter.

Also, besides searching autotrader and ebay, does any one know of any good deals in SE Mich? Really looking for a black, silver, red, charcoal one with a black/cedar int.

Thanks for a response to any part of that!
